Matt & Ben

West of 10th presents:

Matt & Ben

by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers

Matt & Ben won "Best Overall Production" in the 2002 New York International Fringe Festival when authors Kaling and Withers depicted the two halves of Hollywood's favorite bromance: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. In 1997, these childhood friends won an Oscar for their screenplay, Good Will Hunting. Set in Ben's apartment in 1995, the play gives us a glimpse into what might have happened before Matt and Ben became household names.

Matt: Piyali Syam

Ben: Rachel Goodgal

Directed by: Maureen Fleming

Produced by West of 10th's co-founders: Rachel Goodgal, Jen Sandler, and Piyali Syam

Running time is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Note to parents: The subject matter of Matt & Ben is kid-friendly - it deals with friendship and career ambition. However, the play contains strong language and occasional mild sexual innuendo. Children are welcome at your discretion.
